When viewing the full landscape of the data centre, one notices that the two growing consolidation trends, virtualisation and deduplication, converge. This convergence points to a striking and ironic connection: inefficiencies in the traditional back-up and restore model. Data protection is the nexus that connects the two trends, and gaining a handle on data protection is fundamental to data centre efficiency and future data centre growth.

Read this white paper to learn how to go about achieving efficient data protection, as well as considerations and concerns to be aware of.
